Do You Feel Stressed?
Recent studies have shown that 79% to 90% of the reasons
people visit their primary care doctor is due to illness
caused by stress or related to stress and there is not a thing
the doctor can do other then prescribe medications to
reduce the symptoms.
These studies make perfect sense, being several hundred
years ago the main things people worried about were
collecting eggs and milking cows. Now we are over burden
with bills many are unable to pay, not enough hours in the
day, while your career and family responsibilities are
demanding more and more of your attention.
Unfortunately these responsibilities will continue to appear within our life. It is like being
in the middle of a hurricane. Fortnightly there are ways to protect yourself from the storm.
First and foremost we must realize we do not have control of the storm. But, we do have
control in how we respond to the storm.
Managing stress is all about taking charge: taking charge of your thoughts, your
emotions, your schedule, your environment, and the way you deal with problems. The
ultimate goal is a balanced life, with time for work, relationships, relaxation, and fun – plus
the resilience to hold up under pressure and meet challenges head on.
